Prepar3D Ver. 2.5 canopy reflectivity

Recommended Posts

Since installing Prepar3D ver. 2.5 the canopy reflectivity seen externally has changed dramatically. The F-22 and F-35 used to have nice reflective canopies (diffuse alpha) but now have next to none. I have also noticed this on Dino’s MB-326, aerosoft’s F-14, M2M’s Mirage 2000 etc. Why is this?

Also I have seen on aircraft textures themselves next to no reflectivity, especially on the P-38s in bare metal finish. Any clues? Can anyone running v. 2.5 report similar issues?
